Philipp Reaches 's-Hertogenbosch SFs

21/06/12

Philipp advanced to the UNICEF Open semi-finals on Thursday, beating Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 7-6(6) in 's-Hertogenbosch. The match lasted one hour and 36 minutes.

Despite hitting 14 double faults, Philipp dropped serve only once during the match and capitalised on two of his five break point chances to reach his first semi-final since last year's Gerry Weber Open in Halle (finished runner-up).

Next up for Philipp is Belgium's Xavier Malisse. It will be the first head-to-head meeting between the two.
